These Bones

These Bones - Dashboard Confessional
Intro- B5 C5 2x C5 D5 or F
Verse- C Am G#5 G F
Lay my bones,
At the feet of the ministry.
I need the guilt and the company.
I need the chance to be judged,
And then long forgotten.
Verse- C Am G#5 G F
Lately I just cant shake it.
I count the days in seconds and minutes.
Hours and hours and subtle as shards of glass,
In the skin.
Refrain
Am
So lay with me.
F
I could use the company.
You could help me ease,
Chorus-C Dm Am F
These bones,
Are like maps and keys,
Where they took their hits,
And they felt those teeth.
There's a story hidden,
Underneath.
If you dig in deep,
Will you find relief,
Chorus-C Dm Am F
For these bones,
Shudder all night long.
The hammer drops.
Another scar,
For these bones,
But I know,
They're only my second home.
Do verse-
Naked and under the cover of night.
It's just a matter of time 'til I'm,
Counted and measured and filed,
And then long forgotten.
Forgive my manner of speaking.
I know it's quick, but the clock is still ticking,
And I've got a few words left burning holes on my tongue.
I've been saving them.
Do refrain
So lay with me.
I could use the company.
You could help me ease,
Do chorus
These bones,
Are like maps and keys,
Where they took their hits,

And they felt those teeth.
Theres a story hidden,
Underneath.
If you dig in deep,
Will you find relief,
For these bones,
Shudder all night long.
The hammer drops.
Another scar,
For these bones,
But I know,
They're only my second home.
